With apologies to Jimi Hendrix. Jumping in with both teeth this morning!
Linda and I had planned on being at the Hitchcock Nature Preserve for the half/50/100 this past weekend, lots of our mates supporting the Greater Omaha Area Trail Runners efforts. Linda’s handmade artistic invitations to Ni-Bthaska-Ke still on the table. Congratulations to all those that started/finished. Kaci was first overall in the 50, if anyone can find official results I’d appreciate the link.
Instead I spent 16 plus hours running. Running new inside plumbing, sump pump, and outside drain.
Some crazy fast ultra running around the U.S. with several women winning titles outright. Sparking that age old debate, how long (or far) before women naturally begin to outrun men. Tim Dooling can’t wait to hear your take!
Seth Hirsch 3rd at Footlocker Nationals. Its going to be fun to watch his development in Badger kit. Hope he stays away from LetsRun dot com’s trolls. Discuss.
Joe Moore (8th, 29:32) led his KC Smoke to a nice 9th overall at Club Cross. Brogan Austin (12th, 29:52) led Iowa Runablaze to 10th overall club. Nolan Border (95th, 32:16) paced LRC to 23rd team and Cory Logsdon (100th, 32:22) led the Team Nebraska mates to 28th team. http://live.pttiming.com/xc-ptt.html?mid=120
My old buddy Mitch Johnson may well be my son, with all due respect to his momma. Snippets from his take on my state of USATF:
“USATF exists to promote a sport, regulate rules and competition, and to develop world class runners for global competition.”
“I can find a mud run, or any other ‘epic’ events without having to pay a dime. If I want to support a charity or other cause, I write a check.”
“It has to be a ‘real race’ for me to get my fix. A ‘real race’ can be anywhere on any course, I just have to have competition. For me to ‘succeed’ there have to be faster runners.”
“As for the comparison to runablaze, I think LRC/TN would probably beat them in a RAGNAR style relay if they teamed up. Iowa has over 1 million more people, and two fewer clubs.”
